Miami, November 12 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of Florida, vote recounts in the U.S. Senate and gubernatorial races are underway.  In the Senate race, Republican Governor Rick Scott’s lead over Democratic incumbent Bill Nelson has shrunk to just 0.15 percent.  

In Broward County, Florida’s second most populous county, reports of “undervoting” have raised concern, with 25,000 more people apparently voting in the governor’s race than the Senate race.  Political observers say this could be due to confusing ballot design or problems with the vote-counting machines. 

In the Florida governor’s race, Republican Ron DeSantis is leading Democrat Andrew Gillum by only 0.41 percent.  Both President Donald Trump and Republican Governor Rick Scott have claimed -- without any evidence -- that Democrats are carrying out widespread voter fraud. 

According to reports from Florida, the vote recounts are scheduled to be completed by Thursday.
